Man, this would've been a great year to have started the 12-team playoff. Florida State should rightly feel hosed. And even more to the point, any of the rest of the top 10 or so would have a shot.
And they just showed the rest of the top 25: FSU is the only team in the top 11 who won't be in the B1G or SEC next season.

I have always loved Gus Johnson's energy in the booth, going back to his days calling March Madness, and he and Joel Klatt make a very good team. I did have a beef with him when, just after the game ended, he made a comment about Michigan overcoming the adversity of having their coach suspended twice in a season. That is not adversity; it doesn't count when you did it to yourself.

It feels a little weird to me that Belgium didn't have a sprinter available (not one of the injured hurdlers of course, but one of the other runners) rather than a shotputter. Though I suppose any non-hurdler was likely to come in last behind all of the other countries' hurdlers, so maybe that didn't make a difference. Good on her for doing it either way.

I assume they are "Las Vegas Knights del Oro" on Hispanic heritage night.
What a stretch in the second period! I came in from a walk and it was 2-1; 13 minutes of game time later it was 6-1--with a dagger 2 seconds before intermission--and the game was over.

He may not be headed for a second Tommy John, but this is a pain the Nationals also know all too well. Stephen Strasburg signed a shiny new contract in winter 2020 on the heels of being named 2019 WS MVP. Since then, he's only pitched 31 1/3 innings, and the prospects seem to only ever get worse.

MLB has postponed games in New York and Philadelphia tonight due to air quality. Supposedly the plan is doubleheaders tomorrow, though that feels like wishful thinking.
posted by bender at 07:06 PM on June 07, 2023
No argument here. Even in beaverbooard's link, while I don't imagine she intended to throw at the ball person, throwing the racket at all is reckless. That incident was substantially more deserving of DQ than the one at the top of this thread; I don't know if the difference between that one and this one is in rule or in judgment, but something needs addressing.
posted by bender at 03:04 PM on June 06, 2023
Yeah, I assumed her reaction had only a bit to do with getting hit and more to do with being thrust into the center of attention for an unfortunate reason. And I agree, if the adults handle this better, that can probably be mitigated. Though they--particularly Bouzkova and Sorribes Tormo--probably saw the same thing we did and thought, "Meh, she's fine. Now let's see if we can spin this to our advantage."
Why do we even have a chair if they can't look at something like this and conclude that DQ would be an immensely harsh penalty in this case?
